Western Power Blows fuses

[Fedr440]

не, ну это песдетс. такую технику - палочкой включают.

[Nandoblack07]

tem que correr o circuito pooo...se nao nao aceita mesmooo née.... ...

[djkamilo66]

i hate when ir happens, u have no idea how difficult it is to replace those fuses.

[lucianoarsenal]

thats are medium tension :s

[77roman44]

возможно просто включает под нагрузкой (трансформатор), потому и выбивает предохранитель.

[rampagerick]

I knew that they put gunpowder in primary fuses, and I've heard them blow before (including the one on the transformer across the street) This is the first time I've seen a primary fuse blow.

And yes, gunpowder... youtube.com/watch?v=yTdngnsyNS­E#t=85s

[IrishEddie317]

Awwwwwwwwww..beauty! Reminds me of what Steve Irvin used to say when he picked up a live cobra!. "She's right, mate. Beauty!'

You Aussies are great!

[muddyblazed]

YEA SMOKE TEST THAT BIATCH!!!

[92dartboy]

the guys closing that are so stupid patrol the line there is for sure a fualt on it somewhere

[eschweiler7005]

it seems there is persisting short circuit in the system, it is good practice to blow several fuses before investigating the fault.

[lineman1954]

@eschweiler7005 Yea,real smart,don't investigate or patrol the feeder- keep energising the wire on the car of the trapped occupants.

[TheMike0825]

look at how close the low side of that center phase is sitting to that with the right winds that bare wire will have a ground fault faut on that pole should of used covered squirell wire to jump that

[1XLINEMAN]

Its a wonder the lights are still om in Canada Enh

Bueaty you jack offs

[ThePPPTrainAndCarFan]

tell this to the worker who did this: you did it too fast

[madisonelectronic]

@ThePPPTrainAndCarFan The problem is the muffler in the generator station is going bad. That and the watts are set too high for the local current to handle. Putting in a few more klystron tubes will fix things, along with tying maggots like yourself to the top of the pole before energizing.

[SmopuiM]

@madisonelectronic this can be caused even by a short circuited 1hp motor, it happened on my street, someone hacked the line and put the motor directly from the post so he didnt pay electric bill, but one day the motor shortcircuited causing the near fuses like this one blow, the company checked didnt found anything so they tried to put the fuss back on and they blowd again and again and again, then they checked everyhouse in the phase till they found the motor, they charged like 50k usd penalty

[Cesaronan1]

Check the line first, look the problem, repair it and then put the knife again.

[ivannia0268]

pobres wnes ni de tiene q pasa ay con los fucibles xD wnes nomas jajajajajajajajaja

[pgergely13]

@hf47hg4wjg89aw

So U say that fuses can use multi time? After they blow up in short circuit only need tho replace the knifes inside?

Here europe the ordinary solution for fuses to use a melting fuse, so its contains a lot of quartz-sand and in the middle a wire run through and in case short circuit this wire heat up, broken somewhere the heat melt the sand to glass and its isolating the circuit. And each fuse only one-time use.

[pgergely13]

Yeah technican orgasms twice! Ohh man that was beauty! :))

The real fun will be to find where is the goddamn short circuit. Till the dude can localize the place shoot another to his pants.

[anarkokarmas]

esto sucede por no saver como suvir ficibles, existe una norma , contratistas tontos. QUE VIVA LUZ Y FUERZA 100 años de experiencia un electricista no se hace de la noche a la mañana. como es CFE, cree que es fasil controlar la luz en la zona centro de Mexico,y con sus contratistas menos.servidor publico CALDERON, que mal estas.

[FrozenHaxor2]

And at the end the worker was like what do I do now?!

[duknilch]

ohhh... beauty! xD

[EDWARDS777JESUS]

no pierdan el tiempo revisen la red primaria debe haber un corto mas adelante ...!!!!!

[Farie977]

Chuck Norris's Cannons

[mykidsbaddream]

WOW!!! I would have been fired on the spot for not riding out the line before resetting the fuse, especially after the first try?????

[walknslideify]

@mykidsbaddream You're absolutely right!! I would have lost my job too!! Theres obviously a dead short down the line. The real art of the video is how well the troubleman uses the pogo stick (at least that what we call it)

[Nivicoman]

@walknslideify I've heard of a guy going through a whole box of fuses in a power conditioner before someone told him hey it's got a short somewhere!

[robertjusher]

Got to love playing with HV and EDO'S

Spent many a cold night in the dark doing that. !!!

[Kartracer087]

There is likely a fault on the line.... I'm shocked they keep trying to close this switch so many times before figuring that out...

[TheFirstLiquidVideos]

how the fuck did i get here ..... and why is everyone on youtube a MASTER ELECTRICIAN O.o

[lsturboty]

why keep wasting fuses? this is stupid, and someone should show that guy how to throw a door in like a man.

[hidekiclaudio]

OMG, there´s a short circuit LoL

[bilyisbored92]

how many of those did thy go thou 'till thay got it right?

[macedoadonias1]

Seus burros, vocês nem ao menos conseguem identificar o defeito, para depois ligarem a chave?

[LouManChu66]

must have a shorted transformer somewhere, I came home to no power one day they came out and seen the fuse blown and said the transformer was probably shorted he put a new fuse up and it blew like that and I thought a cannon just blew up over my head, they had to come out and put a new transformer on the pole

[simfox21]

@hf47hg4wjg89aw yes but they cant all run off the same phase can they.

[simfox21]

why keep trying to close on to a fault ?????



[CycloneChilli]

Oops.

[TravvyG]

I would of shat myself both times doing that lol.. so that would of shut off the line from the substation to reconnect it?

[yirel1]

jaJAJAJAJA SI HAY FALLA EN LA LINEA...........

[jackgvogel]

This is a drop switch. Heat bends the metal and it falls. This is completely routine for linesman

[ccoraxfan]

@jackgvogel They don't work quite that way. The fuse (inside the cartridge tube) has spring tension on it which holds the cartridge in place. When it blows, the tension is released and this allows the cartridge to drop down.

[Riot454di]

is that 66kV??

[LM632]

Lol, sounds like a pistol when it blows!

[ApolloWasReal]

I've seen our local utility (San Diego Gas Electric, California) do the same thing. First they replace the fuse, and if it blows again then they look for a downstream fault.

[albertareid]

@djelectfire we throw em in the trash

[waza01234]

who 4got to pull the earths down lmao

[RAYSONIC511]

when it blew in slomo.... thats what i look like after i eat mexican food

[WeeUtubey]

This just proves once again that light is faster than sound :D

[DJelectfire]

Do you know what they do with the blown fuses? Cause I would love to have one (even better if it wasn't blown)

[controledmind]

Can't see the sense to blow up one more fuse - if it blew, the technicians must check the line before reconnecting it.

[contrapezist]

Normal procedure here in the states on transformers, stab it, if it blows isolate the secondary if it blows again replace the transformer.

[chuckbyf1]

OK, I guess we still have a fault somewhere?

[joeltheasshole]

@chuckbyf1

Haha, fuck it, just keep slamming 'em in.

[attapattapie]

these are actually insulators

[napsterbater]

@attapattapie The part dangling is a fuse. the part to the left is the insulator.

[Singlepole]

but not a failure either



[Singlepole]

didnt look fused to me LOL

[the67go]

i think the whole cut out needs replacing !

[seedililbarf]

1812 overture  time?

[bizzyfingers]

its like the fair ground game hook duck

[Second2Rush]

I wish i Could put this on my Girl Freind's Nipples!, When it Discharges.

xD.

[leandeganis]

@Second2Rush wtf

[douro20]

It is quite normal for these to explode. They contain a striker which is energized when the fuse blows and drives a pin into the fuse holder assembly causing it to disengage the fuse.

[douro20]

They should had de-energized the feeder and tried again.

[dazzawul]

@hf47hg4wjg89aw

A lot of ducted air con units use 2-3 phase supply :P

@savelkaunas

It could have been a faulty fuse, or a transient fault (bird\bat on the wire), and having fuses\switches in the middle of the run allows them to deenergise a bit in the middle rather than the entire feeder, so you dont have to take a whole suburb offline to fix a fault :)

[pinkfloyd666]

@dazzawul no one uses 2 phase power anymore lol

[dazzawul]

@pinkfloyd666

You mean, no new installations use 2 phase anymore ;)

There's plenty of 100 year old crap floating around in major cities that noone has touched for 80-90 years because there's been no reason to!

but yeah, I know what you mean ^^

[savelkaunas]

@hf47hg4wjg89aw also you didn't answer: why to put another fuse if first one is blow seconds ago? Once I provoked local electrician to change only fuse in a hope that "maybe everything it will be ok". It was 60A at 10kV line... we feel fuse blowing by our feet as it was small earthquake :) It was stupid.

[savelkaunas]

@hf47hg4wjg89aw In my country (Lithuania) local hv line are 10kV ones (3 phases, no zero) and all manual switches have handle on the bottom. So no need for use long fishing pole. Also, we do not use small transformers (maybe only in very distant villages) and fuses are in switching boxes near transformers and in distribution yards (typically with 110kV transformers).

And more: in our residential area 3 phase are used- deep well water pumping, geothermal heaters and various motors... :)

[Nivicoman]

@savelkaunas Do residential clothes dryers and cooking stoves use 3 phase in Lithuania and if so what is the voltage? Here in USA clothes dryers and cooling units as well as cooking stoves use 240V single phase maximum.

3 phase is only in factories hospitals office buildings and the like either 208 or 480V. Phase to zero of those voltages for lighting (277V) smaller lighting computers television and so on 120V.

[savelkaunas]

@Nivicoman 3ph system is used in resident areas to minimize N wire thinkness and balance load. As all EU outlets are 230V there is no need to worry about load. Some house use 3ph input as you can get more power for use. Typical fuse for house is 16 or 25 amps. So if you have 3 phases, you can connect more devices. For example my summer house have ~25A 3phase. I use 3ph for watter pump, 2phase for stove and 1phase for ligh and simple outlets.

At home I have only 1ph and ~70A :) (I tested)...

[savelkaunas]

@savelkaunas ... and I can not use such load, as I am limited by wire thickness :)

As 3phase are almost in every street, the only problem to get 3ph are only "installation and connection" cost that electrical company is collecting. For my house with 1ph they need only 3 meters of 4 wire cable and new electricity counter, but they ask too much money for it... it is monopoly here.

[Comments2010]

They aren't fuses, they're switches!

[alachabre]

@Comments2010 The technically correct term is "fused disconnect."

[srm13560]

that's sure a nice way to set property on fire, or kill someone...Go run whole lenght of the line before testing, my friend

[ivanalves06]

I thought it best electrician back to the classroom and review what he is doing wrong .... Brazil

[savelkaunas]

Connecting one phase at a time? Very strange... Also, why to change fuse if one is blowing? In a hope, that damn squirell will blow away from line ? :)

[weldon0m]

I SEE WHY WE HAVE SO MANY POWER CUTS HERE

[RoadtoWorcester]

This video is very interesting, and I am so glad I can comment on it. I think freedom of speech is brilliant.

[somedudeandacomp]

@RoadtoWorcester Good thing your not from egypt
